She's Not Spoiled - She's "Well Taken Care Of"

Darren and I don't have any children (yet), but wanted an addition to our family, so we decided to start with a puppy! I have had dogs all of my life, so when our family dog died a few years ago, I wanted another. Darren had just moved to Houston, and we were looking for an apartment together so we decided to wait. And since then - we have waited, and waited and waited! I told him a few months ago that I didn't want to wait any longer, that I was asking for a puppy for Christmas!

We found a breeder in Bonham, TX and we bought a black female Miniature Schanuzer. She was born on October 4th and we get to pick her up this weekend!! I am ecstatic! I can't wait. I have gotten a few things to prepare for her arrival. Everyone keeps teasing me that she is already so spoiled, but I like to think of her as being "well taken care of".

This is a picture from the breeder. She is 4 weeks and 1 day old.

We went and had a nametag made for her, with rhinestones, of course! My favorite color is red, so I am sure she will love it too. And, a girl has to have some bling!

I bought this toy to take with us when we pick her up! A girl has needs - even from a young age! Memaw bought her this cute pet bed, when she wants to lounge around in the living room.

Last night, I made her this fleece houndstooth blanket - after all, it's getting cold outside!

Memaw bought her, her first stocking! A little elf boot (with sequins, of course)!

Memaw also bought her a Gingerbread squeaky toy. (Memaw is excited about her, too). I bought her the green and red one, because it's cute - and it's Christmas!

And then I got her some stuff for her stocking! Those are gourmet yogurt-dipped canine cookies! How cute are they? So she got a couple of toys and a few goodies!

We are driving up (to North Texas) to pick her up, on Saturday and we are going to attempt to take Christmas pictures, with her, on Sunday - so I will try to post some more pictures of our little one next week!
